    Coilover recommendation

    Hey all. I'm looking at coilovers for my next upgrade, can anyone provide any info on the pros/cons of the KW v2 vs Eibach? Any feedback is much appreciated.

    If you are comparing kits to the KW V2 I would consider the Tein setup for more function!

    I am running the Eibachs on my car and have had them on for about a year and approx 15k miles of Street, Drag and Road Racing w no issues.
    The Eibachs are also made by KW and are very similar.
    There is a minor difference in spring rates, but otherwise they are the same.
    Spring Rates:
    KW front:500 rear:855
    Eibach front:502 rear:857
    Eibachs tend to run a little less. You cant go wrong either way.

    Let us know if we can help...we carry both brands!

    One question you will need to answer is whether you want or need the damper adjustability, if you require this then the KW v2 or Tein system is the way to go, if that is not an issue and you are looking to lower the car and have height adjustment and better ride, then the KW v1 or Eibachs will work great!
